I was killed by my relatives, and I am reborn to be ruthless.

Hearing this, Zou Mubai moved slightly and moved closer almost subconsciously.

His deep eyes sparkled with a searching light in the night.

He gently took out a night-shining pearl from his arms. The pearl emitted a soft and bright light in the darkness, like the gentlest star in the night sky, instantly illuminating everything around.

With the help of this light, he carefully examined the ground, and sure enough, on a piece of smooth talc slightly moistened by the moonlight, a shallow, incomplete footprint was clearly visible.

The footprint has a delicate outline and slightly concave edges, revealing a soft yet firm sense of power. From its shape and size, it is not difficult to infer that this must be the footprint of a woman.

"This footprint is small, it must be He Lian'er's." Zou Mubai thought to himself, with a certainty and anxiety in his voice, "She should be nearby, and judging from the different depths of the footprints, she may not have walked very fast."

At this time, Fei Xiuwen was observing the footprints from the side, with a meaningful smile on his face. He added: "And you can see that one side of the footprints is obviously heavier, and the steps are unstable, which means that He Lian'er was probably seriously injured when she was walking and she was exhausted. In this case, she couldn't have escaped too far."

Hearing this, Zou Mubai's eyes became more determined. He quickly exchanged a tacit look with Fei Xiuwen, as if they had reached a consensus in silence.

Then, he nodded slightly to show his agreement with Fei Xiuwen's judgment, and made a decisive decision: "Okay, then we will split up. I will explore to the west, and you will search to the east. Be sure to act carefully and signal me immediately if you find anything."

After saying that, Zou Mubai stretched out his body and rushed towards the west like a meteor across the night sky, leaving behind only a residual shadow and words that gradually dissipated in the night wind.

Fei Xiuwen watched Zou Mubai's agile figure gradually disappear into the darkness of the night. A sense of urgency surged in his heart, and he quickly took action and began to search the surroundings carefully.

He walked lightly and had sharp eyes, not missing any subtle details that might hide clues. The surrounding trees, grass, and even every stone were examined one by one under his keen perception.

During this period of time, Fei Xiuwen was no stranger to the name He Lian'er. All the legends and stories about her in the spirit world flooded into his ears like a tide.

He knew that this He Lian'er was a direct disciple of the Immortal Sect Master of Mingjian Sect, and that she had been mocked for trying to get along with the disciples of Wanjing Sect not long ago. Later, he heard that this person had harmed his fellow disciples.

However, what really made Fei Xiuwen anxious was the jade pendant that was closely connected to Si Yao.

He knew the importance of the jade pendant to Si Yao, who never left it easily before. Now, knowing that the jade pendant had fallen into He Lian'er's hands, Fei Xiuwen couldn't help but worry about Si Yao's safety.

He was afraid that Si Yao might meet with an accident because of the loss of the jade pendant, and he was even more afraid that he would not be able to find them in time and put Si Yao in danger.

"Si Yao, you must hold on. No matter what difficulties you encounter, never give up hope."

Fei Xiuwen prayed silently in his heart, his eyes became more determined and his steps became more rapid.

He knew very well that time was life for them at this moment. Every passing minute and every second could make the situation more critical.

"I will find you as soon as possible, no matter where you are, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles you encounter."

Fei Xiuwen swore secretly in his heart. Although his voice was soft, it was full of unquestionable determination and strength. In this forest shrouded in the darkness, he seemed to have transformed into an unyielding light, vowing to penetrate the darkness and find the person he had been thinking about.

Here, He Lian'er was caught off guard and was hit by He Tianhong's sudden talisman. In an instant, an unprecedented piercing pain surged like a tide and instantly swept through her whole body.

The pain seemed to have life, raging in every corner of her body. Every breath and every heartbeat was accompanied by severe pain, making every step she took seem like she was crossing the boundary between life and death, heavy and difficult.

However, He Lian'er is not weak.

She endured the pain that almost tore her apart, and with her strong will and instinct for survival, she staggered away from the dangerous place.

As the distance increased, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the pain in her body had miraculously eased a little. Although it was still unbearable, at least it was no longer about to swallow her up like before.

Just as a glimmer of hope arose in He Lian'er's heart, and she thought that she might be able to escape this disaster, a more intense and indescribable pain erupted from her mind. This pain was a hundred or a thousand times stronger than any previous one, as if countless sharp needles were piercing her brain frantically, making her lose all her strength and consciousness in an instant.

He Lian'er could no longer hold on, she fell to the ground in pain, rolling helplessly, trying to relieve the pain that almost tore her soul apart. But it was all in vain, the pain was like a maggot attached to her bones, tightly entangled with her, making her unable to get rid of it.

Finally, after a violent tumble, He Lian'er missed a step, lost her balance, and fell into the dark mountain stream like a fallen leaf.

At that moment, all the pain seemed to fall with her and disappear into the endless darkness and silence.

In the last moment before she lost consciousness, He Lian'er tried to struggle. She released all the magic energy in her body and tried to climb up the mountain stream, but was hit on the head by a falling boulder.

Her consciousness gradually became blurred and she eventually fell into a coma, her life or death uncertain.

It was precisely because of the demonic energy released by He Lian'er that Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen realized something at the same time. They both moved and flew towards the place where the demonic energy appeared at the same time.

But when the two stood at the bottom of the mountain stream, they only saw a piece of black clothes caught in the rocks, but no trace of He Lian'er.

"It's true that the person fell here, and he might have been rescued by someone." Zou Mubai frowned and said with a hint of regret in his voice.

"He can't even die from this fall. It really proves the saying that evil can last for thousands of years." Fei Xiuwen said sullenly.

He looked at Zou Mubai: "By the way, you said last time that you saw Ying Qi possessed by Xu Chong when you were in the forbidden area of ​​Qingling Sect. Now that we can't find He Lian'er, can we find a way to ask Ying Qi again?"

Ying Qi was the founder of the Wanjing Sect and had done this kind of possession many times. If he could possess someone once, he could do it a second time.

Zou Mubai's eyes flickered when he heard this, and suddenly brightened up: "Why didn't I think of this? Let's go back to find Xu Chong now!"
